With "Borg", Danish director Janus Metz and Swedish screenwriter Ronnie Sandahl delivers an impressively well-made and truly engaging movie. The professionalism and craftsmanship shown by director Metz is all the more impressive considering the fact that this is only his second full-feature ever, after acclaimed war documentary "Armadillo" (2010). There are also great performances from Sverrir Gudnason and Shia LaBeouf, helped by stable contributions from Tuva Novotny and Stellan Skarsgård.

This movie tells the story of the rivality between Bjorn Borg, the Swedish "Iceman", and John McEnroe, the American bad kid. They had very different temperament, not only playing tennis but also in their ways to face life and difficulties. Despite the rivality and their differences they became fiends. Personally, I prefer the McEnroe's airiness and instead of the Borg's attention of every details and I support him during the movie. Well done the scenes of 1980's Wimbledon Tournament. I recommend it like Rush to who like sports and think that playing sport is like face life's difficulties everyday.
